Of which the Tao Te Ching, Traitor and Blade of Tyshalle are my unsurpassed favorites. So far at least. Trying to find something to one-up them. Though I admit I really really really have to read The Book of the New Sun again. At half the speed. Then maybe I can begin to grasp it.

Also on the to-read list are Moby Dick (started), Frankenstein (bought), Forever Free (I liked The Forever War), and other award-winning stuff by Haldeman, Heinlein, Asimov, Ursula K. Le Guin and so on and so forth. (Something like this perhaps, though I really don't plan on reading EVERYTHING. But hey, so far all from that list were at least great, if not brilliant.)

As for classics like Lasombra mentioned, I want to get around to reading Homer one day, I read the Illias and all that three times at least, though always retold by some random author when I was much younger. War and Peace has even higher priority. Oh, yeah: http://www.online-literature.com/ Lots of classics there. Though I wouldn't read Tolstoy online, mind you. XD

Currently I am being diverted by A Song of Ice and Fire. Gigantic, honest, intelligent, unpredictable and deeply personal "realistic" fantasy entertainment. Almost done with Book 3, Part 1: A Storm of Swords. Not brilliant in a mind-bending way, but great entertainment nonetheless.

Re: Books

I read most of classic books during the summer and winter season. Right now, school libraries are now holding fiction books that is totaly worth a bullshit (except poetries that are flawless like Edgar Allan Poe's poetries to.....ah what the hell. XD

Of course, I have most of the books from Charles Dickens' David Copperfield to Herman Melville's Moby Dick. I might read those someday.

Re: Books

It gets minus points for the inclusion of Yoda in the title. Which isn't Stewarts fault. He did everything right. WTF. He actually managed to pull it off. Yoda as one of the main characters. Holy green gnome. And Dooku. And great character studies.

Every Jedi is a child his parents decided they could live without.

What have you been reading??

Re: Books

The last books I have read were The Necroscope. A good read for the sick and twisted people. I dont read chapter books that much. Mostly its a graphic novel or some comics. The Preacher, Watchmen and Punisher are great. Alot of the Alines and Prediter stuff is good also.

Books, Anyone?

There are a ton of books out here in this crazy world of ours, but I've found the following to be really wonderful reads:

1. Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card

2. The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy (The Six Novel Collection) by Douglas Adams.

3. Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett

Yessir. I have to admit, Terry Pratchett's works aren't all that great. Sure, it's filled with satire, and everyone loves satire! However, it's boring satire. Reaper Man was only good because the Grim Reaper was involved, and he's a pretty unique compared to other characters in the Discworld series.

And Ender's Shadow is a wonderful, wonderful thing. I don't want to get into too much detail, but the phrase "Survival of the Fittest" is the theme. And it's a very fitting theme, mind you.

Re: Books, Anyone?

Well, I had a good time reading Shogun and Tai Pan by James Clavell.Frank Herberts Dune is also a good call.The Hunt for the Red October by Tom Clancy is also worth reading.Most of Anne Rice books are nice and entertaining.

And of course, there is J. J. Tolkien.

Those are the ones I can remember right now.

The Demolished Man; In a world of mindreading telepaths, criminals are caught, demolished and reinserted into society before a criminal act can even so much as get past the planning stagea. Nevertheless, Ben Reich is planning the perfect murder . . . "Maybe in those days they wanted sheep."
